Just along the coastline is the notorious Cape Agulhas – the Southernmost Point of South Africa. This stretch of coastline has seen over 250 vessels loose their way and being wrecked on the jagged rocks. A strange magnetic anomaly occurs here where compasses point true North rather than magnetic North. This leads to confusion and very real danger for ships when the visibility is poor. There are only 2 other places on earth where this phenomenon happens – The Bermuda Triangle and The Devil’s Sea off the coast of Japan.

Struisbaai is for the family

Struisbaai is ideally suited for the whole family. Mermaid Guest House is just a short walk to the nearest beach. As the name suggests Struisbaai is in a beautiful natural harbour where the ocean floor gradually slopes away creating gentle waves for the kids to enjoy. The main beach is the longest, uninterrupted white sandy beach in the Southern Hemisphere.

A boardwalk connects the main beach to the harbour beach. This beach is otherwise known as ‘seekoei gat’ by the locals and is protected from the waves by a boulder breakwater and the harbour wall. The water is as clear and as calm as a lagoon, at low tide bathers can ‘walk’ out to the little fishing boats without getting their hair wet. This beach is popular, especially with young families where the kids can swim in safety.
